Flex Legal experience

Hi everyone,

I applied for Paralegal work at Flex Legal, and I have been now asked to complete my profile.

I was wondering if anyone has experience working with Flex Legal because I have quite a few questions. Also, it would be great if someone could tell me what I can expect in the onboarding interview.

Also, I need some advice on a concern I have. I am looking for a permanent Paralegal role because I have some paralegalling experience. It has been very difficult to find a new role, and I now have a 6 month gap in my CV. I’m thinking that applying for flexible legal work in the meantime would be a good way to fill the gap while continuing to look for a permanent role. If I sign up to Flex Legal, would it be ok to keep looking for permanent work at the same time?


Thanks!

The onboarding call wasn’t very formal, I believe I was asked to summarise my experience and maybe a scenario question, then she explained how the system works. I think it would take a lot to be rejected if you’ve made it to this call.

And yes it’s fine to continue looking for jobs, I’ve recently started another temp role and have just blocked out my timetable as unavailable for now on Flex, so if you got another job you could do that

Hi,

I am unsure about the specifics of Flex Legal’s process, but here are a few things you could expect from the onboarding call;

  • Introduction to the agency and its processes
  • Review of your CV and background
  • Clarification of your preferences (role, practice area, location)
  • Understanding your motivations for seeking a new role
  • Explanation of the recruitment process
  • Discussion of salary expectations and benefits
  • Preparing for the next steps (interviews, timelines, follow-ups)
  • Opportunity to ask questions and address concerns

Hope this helps!
